Great signal and audio S8.  Playing those tunes from the 90's taking me straight back to high school and teenage irresponsibility.  Ah those were the days...  Signal dropped to almost nothing at 0223.  I can still see a carrier.  Back to S9 at 0230.

 Thanks for the show!

Been splitting attention here with Wolverine since X-FM signon.  Very good signal here tonight, S9+5-10.  A little bit of local QRM in the LSB, but able to null that for the most part.

0225 Shouts (thanks!) and playing a request for kilokat
0252 talk abt hanging around a bit longer; last week things folded like a lawn chair around 0330; (getting pretty choppy right now,
        but still sounding great in general).
0302 Police - Spirits in the Material World
0319 wrapping up the show, thanks to listeners, final track
0327 off

Really good to hear ya, redhat; thank you for the show!
